Garden Party December `1980 Diz Minnitt and Derek Dick (Fish) demo

In December 1980, Diz and Derek(Fish) were looking for a band, they answered an add in Musican's Only from a band called Marillion who were looking for a singer/bass player, they fit the bill. This is the first ever recording of Garden Party, different music to what we all became accustomed, it features Diz on bass and Derek on vocals recorded through the same microphone in Ettrick Bridge where they lived before joining Marillion. These recordings are from the audition tape to join Marillion and are the copyright of Diz Minnitt and Derek Dick. They were cleaned and remastered by The Scott's Porridge archive group exclusively for Diz and Marko's Marillion Museum, check out our page on Facebook for daily rarities and history of the band.
